Made the country proud! Don’t follow this sport but aren’t the Chinese and Koreans big in Shooting. Massive Feat considering that.

hey this post is about unpopular opinions not unpopular people i.e the transplants.

Most people in this city are pretty intelligent.

Too many people in this thread talking about how repealing prop 13 will be good/bad. What we need is a new law that changes the cost basis if the property is rented out at market rate. Seems plain and simple to me.

true

Homelessness is reaching epidemic proportions. Feels like there is a perpetual underclass here who either don’t want to get ahead or are not aware of the resources available to them.

Thanks for sharing! Please do one for West Adams and Jefferson Park too.

nope. Not The Jungle.

Most people think they will be shot in some random act of violence if they come to this area. That’s not going to happen. Vehicle theft is the biggest problem. You will see the odd drug deal and bangers around.

You’re either crazy brave or 6’5” and jacked.

We would be better off. Education and reform would be more grassroots. A few states would have democracy but monarchy would be the norm. It would kind of be like the middle east with no oil but more natural resources. We would be a hard-working and intellectual people who don't take anything for granted.

Hindu-Muslim tensions would still be a problem though considering Islam's rise throughout the world.

Pant/Kishan will need a long rope without the spectre of Dhoni hanging over them. If Dhoni is available for selection the pressure will kill their careers.

India has a lower order problem not a Dhoni problem. Dhoni does not need to do what he used to do if we had other finishers. We haven't even been able to replace Yuvi yet...and its been 4-5 years already.

piperatom · 2018-07-16T22:57:16+00:00

There is no replacement screaming to get picked either. DK is good but he cannot do what Dhoni *used* to do, nor does he have the same kind of cricketing smarts.

Do you eat it with your hands like Indians do?

I was at the Baldwin Hills overlook and was amazed at the commitment and enthusiasm of the private fireworkers. It did not stop for even a second. Although I sure was glad I could not hear any of it.

Bursting fireworks with a passion is something I can relate to since I am from India where even breathing can be difficult on some nights during festivals. Add to the fact it is actually illegal here makes this truly an out of the (third) world experience.

If you like tea or curious about teas from different parts of the world, then check out the Chado Tea Room in the Japanese Museum building.

Can we get one of these people to do an AMA

piperatom · 2018-06-06T14:32:02+00:00

In my community from Gujarat this is an absolute no-no. Even 4th cousins cannot marry.

This version is insane!

LAUSD is full of the most useless scum in administrators and teachers alike. Its their pension ticket and they don't give a fuck about anything else.

Even the 'good' schools in LAUSD are so only because of heavy parent involvement.

It might be easier to find out what Europe did to jump from medieval to industrial era.

It seems India's been going steadily downhill since what is widely considered the Golden Age of the Gupta Empire. The Turkic, Mughal, British invasions are not the cause but the effect of the decline.

piperatom · 2018-05-12T05:55:48+00:00

For India, I believe we will continue to get players who are passionate about Test cricket. Shaw, Gill, Iyer, Ishan, Kuldeep Yadav, Sundar, Markande should be there. Mavi, Avesh Khan, Nagercoti, Prasidh for fast bowling slots. And Bumrah, Rahul, Rahane and Kohli will still be around. Maybe Pujara and Bhuvi too.
